Petworth Film House is a not-for-profit community organisation run by volunteers. We aim to show a great range of films, live arts and sports events for people in the Petworth area to enjoy.

The audio-visual experience is superb, with a 7.1 digital surround sound and large HD cinema screen.

All proceeds go directly to fund improvement projects in Leconfield Hall. Since we established in 2012, PFH has contributed to insulating the roof, has fully funded the installation of hi speed internet and wifi throughout the entire building, installed a live arts satellite link and has upgraded the sound system for the benefit of all hall users. We're proud that with your support in attending film nights, the total capital investment in the hall is over £25k.

At the beginning, back in 2012 , we needed to ensure we delivered a truly memorable experience, and therefore set about raising funds to improve the facilities in Leconfield Hall. This included upgrading the existing projection and sound equipment which now give a large, 4.3m wide screen in full HD with superb sound.

Since 2012, PFH has been bringing a wide range of films to local audiences, who enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and sense of local community.

The Leconfield Hall is an important part of Petworth’s heritage, it is a Grade II listed building and is both home to Petworth Film House and our nominated Charity.

The management of The Leconfield Hall is entrusted to a committee of trustees and has charitable status recognised by the Charity Commission (Registered Charity No. 305402). The Hall is in constant use for public meetings, concerts, theatre and adult education classes. It holds public entertainment, theatre and cinema licenses but like many old buildings it is a financial struggle to meet ever stricter public health and safety conditions, as such the Hall is reliant on charitable donations.
